Client Reviews

Do yourself a favour and book this place, you won’t regret it. The Bahia Mar Boutique Hotel. Also, the best time to see the Southern Right and Humpback whales is August and September so go then. Vilanculos is so remote and no one really knows about it, we found. The hotel is eco-friendly which pleased us a lot.
